Sprecher offered a fairly typical tour of their facility. Not really any different than any other brewery you would go to. However, they have a tent set up (inside) with plenty of space to try beers and sodas after the tour, which was great. They had a pretty big selection of beers and soda (off the top of my head I'd say at least 20 different kind in total?) which allowed us to sample different styles. Personally I wasn't blown away with most of the beer other than the Abbey Triple which was outstanding. The sodas were fantastic and probably some of the best I've ever tasted. The cherry cola tasted like fresh cherries, which I've never said about another soda in my life. Definitely worth seeing, but give some of the sodas a try while you are there because they are top notch.

Been to Sprecher many times. It's a decent tour with some solid samples. The setting in which the tour concludes is second to none. I love sitting on the big wood benches and drinking authentic German style beers. You get four free pours of any of the beers they currently have on tap. Plus unlimited soda. Not bad for the price.

This is a must stop for anyone passing through Milwaukee. Bring the family or beer geeks. They will all have a good time.

This was the first brewery tour I went on (back in the late 90's) and hasn't changed much since. That is not a bad thing! The brewery building has some age to it, and the gift shop is done up like an old Bavarian beer cellar. The guide we had for the tour was knowledgeable and funny. The tour ends in a nice, dimly lit biergarten. I was initially disappointed in only getting four samples, but several people were handing out their extra tickets so I got to try all the beers available.

There were more kids on this tour than any other I've been to, probably because of all the sodas offered by Sprecher.

They do a special beer and cheese pairing tour, but you need to organize this ahead of time.

This is a brewery. They were founded in 1985 so they’ve been around awhile. They have an excellent tour; times are listed on their web site and include four tickets for their beers as well as unlimited sodas. The tour is $4.00, free for military members, and also includes a small souvenir tasting glass. They have five year round beers plus seasonals and reserves for a total of 9 beers on tap. They also have 8 sodas on tap. I particularly enjoyed the IPA2 which runs about 88 IBUs. Sprecher brews more Root Beer than all their other products combined, about 50 thousand barrels a year. It looked like everything on tap was for sale in the main giftshop. All their products are also available in local stores.
